Consumer School NRW: Financial expert praises award from 15 schools

According to a report by www.presseportal.de, 15 schools from North Rhine-Westphalia were recognized as consumer schools. The Federal Association of Consumer Organizations (vzbv) presents this award to honor special commitment to consumer education.

The consumer school award is being presented for the sixth time and is under the patronage of Federal Consumer Protection Minister Steffi Lemke. The schools are awarded in the gold, silver and bronze categories and the activities and projects revolve around finance, nutrition, media and sustainable consumption.

The award ceremony took place on February 27, 2023 in Berlin, where a total of 69 consumer schools from 12 federal states were honored.

The schools' award means that consumer education in schools is strengthened and teachers receive special support. The goal is to give young people skills for their everyday lives as consumers.

The recognition and promotion of consumer schools has a positive impact on the consumers of tomorrow, as they are trained at an early stage in dealing with finances, nutrition, media and sustainable consumption.

This commitment by the schools and the award will have a long-term positive impact on the market as future consumers will be better informed and more aware. This could also lead to a change in awareness regarding sustainable consumption and responsible behavior.

It is expected that the consumer school award and the associated promotion of consumer education in schools will have a positive influence on the purchasing behavior and purchasing decisions of tomorrow's consumers. This could in turn impact the market and the providers of products and services.
